I believe that that this means that you should be as kind as you can because it costs nothing to be kind. I believe summer shows this the most because she was always being kind.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe August life has changed dramatically for him. August was always shy and him his face with his hair but right at the end of the book he had cut his hair sort. Another example is at the start of the book August he really doesn’t want to go to school but then at the end he is thanking his mum for going to school.

# data[].attributes.body
I think August choses to represent himself because he thinks he looks like a duck to himself. Though many people though he was making a reference to the story of the ugly duckling. Though he said it himself as the duck being just a duck nothing else. I personally believe that the story of the ugly duckling is sort of way of summarizing August’s parts in the book. At the start of the book he was getting bullied and was the odd one out and at the end everyone accepts him and he shows himself for who he is.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe August says he doesn’t remember the 7th graders faces because he doesn’t really want to make a big deal over this. I believe this shows that August is just a really nice guy in general. Another reason I believe he did this was because he was just happy that people were excepting him after the fight and even though he hated the fight he like how people were kind and generous to him after.

I think Miranda faked being sick on opening night because she wanted someone to cheer her on. She also knew that if she let Via go on then she would have people cheering for her. I believe this shows that Miranda is not a selfish person and that she cares about Via

# data[].attributes.body
Miranda and Via used to be close friends but then Miranda went on a summer camp and started making up lies about herself to make her more cooler. Then when she is hanging out with people at the camp they change her hair and stuff like that. Then when they came back to school she started hanging out with the popular group at school and they started to become more distant between each other.

Miranda misses having via as a friend because she misses Via’s family. They are sort her second family and they are caring for her as well. I also thinks she misses Via because they have been friends for so many years.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the main reason August hasn’t noticed Daisy getting sick is because August has many things to do since he has started school. Also in the book Daisy sleeps less and less on August’s bed. I think this is because Daisy is getting sick. Though August has not mentioned this once.

# data[].attributes.body
August loves Halloween because he feels accepted when he can blend in with everyone else because his facial abnormalities never allow him to do this unless he wears a mask or covers his face in another way.

# data[].attributes.body
August uses this simile to refer to his appearance and the appearance of summer. By comparing himself to the beast he refers to his looks and uses this saying to put himself down because he believes he is ugly and not worth summers attention. In the book summer is portrayed as being pretty, therefore Auggie calls her the “beauty”. In the movie the beast is someone who cowers away from the crowd, and is very self conscious, I think Auggie finds comfort in calling himself the beast because it makes him feels like he’s not alone or an outsider.

# data[].attributes.body
In Life we are given two options to be kind or to be right.
For example you might have someone being bullied  in the playground and you go over to them and intervene (the kind way), because of the fact alone that they might be “weird” would deter someone away from helping them (the “right” way)
Basically it’s okay to be “wrong” and be kind
But it is not okay to be right and be unkind

# data[].attributes.body
They were shocked and surprised but I wouldn’t completely describe it as being rude, they talked behind their hands, trying to be discreet.

# data[].attributes.body
At the beginning of this book, August was a quiet, unconfident boy whom had always been the odd one out due to his abnormalities. Throughout the book august grew as a person, meeting new people, experiencing different situations as well as attending school.  By the end of the book August feels as though he lives a semi normal life, he has so much more confidence and friendships

# data[].attributes.body
In the book August compared himself to a duck, I think this was a good choice. August is different from everyone else, he is like the odd one out, the ugly duckling.  Through the story august begins to grow as a person and that could display him changing into a ‘beautiful duck’.

# data[].attributes.body
He could have done it because he didn’t want to make a big deal out of it by bringing teachers into the situation.  In the book he did state that Eddie wouldn’t be learning any lessons, so it would seem pointless to get him in trouble. August may have based his actions on past experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
She used lies family is life to become popular

# data[].attributes.body
Because daisy was the 1 constant point of happiness in his life so he couldn’t comprehend her getting unwell

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
So via can go on stage and let August have a great time and feel happy

# data[].attributes.body
Julian because the way he acted when he sore August

# data[].attributes.body
Be kind

# data[].attributes.body
Well he go to school and had too much on his mide that why but he find out she sick and start crying and crying

# data[].attributes.body
Because when he was a little kid he had a lot of operations and he spent a lot of time in hospital and he got sick really easy

# data[].attributes.body
It means that everybody needs to be as kind as possibles. You need to try your absolute hardest to be nice and kind to everybody and everything that you come across even if you feel that they don’t deserve it because really everyone and everything in this world needs to Ben treated fairly and kindly.

Alex mead

I think August lied about not knowing the faces of the 7 th graders because they might be super mean to them next camp or then the bad kids might have to pay for them!!

# data[].attributes.body
Well he think it ok

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because everyone feels sorry for being mean to August.

# data[].attributes.body
August’s life has changed greatly and for the better. Everyone is just used to his fave now and he doesn’t need get stared at or made fun of anymore. He stood up to the bully and is recognised for being courageous and strong and he has made lots of friends and become more confident in himself.

# data[].attributes.body
Because they don’t want to get in trouble and not to be rude to August

# data[].attributes.body
I think maybe summer or jack because they are nicer than most people in the school and hang out with him without been forced to. It also is like when Amos,henery and miles where when he got into a fight

# data[].attributes.body
Well the question she doesn’t want August to come because she want to have a good reputation not looking like (person:don’t go To her because her brother a freak)

# data[].attributes.body
Yeah

# data[].attributes.body
2. In this section August discusses the issue of him going to school. Why has he never gone to school? Do you think he should?

He has never gone to school because his parents say he isn’t ready.

Yes.

# data[].attributes.body
It means to respect and be kinder more than nessersary so that it can make people more positive. And in my opinion Summer shows it the best.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Why do people look quickly away when they first see August?

Because he looks different from the rest.

# data[].attributes.body
Jack and Julian were talking about the many flaws of August (they were mostly about his face). Ranging from comments about him looking like an orc to looking like earth sidious, Jack then says that he doesn’t even like August he is only hanging out with him just because he feels bad for August.

All bad stuff.

# data[].attributes.body
Everyone started seeing him in a nicer way. Agust has also gotten more confident in his face.

# data[].attributes.body
August uses a duck to represent himself. I believe that this is in relation to the story of the ugly duckling and how he grew up to be a beautiful swan. I think that this an amazing story and it fits August really well. When he started school he was really nervous and stared at a lot. Now he has bloomed and blossomed into a confident and happy young man.

# data[].attributes.body
Well it he had a lot of presher

# data[].attributes.body
August chose to represent himself as a duck, because he think he looks like one. And in my opinion he suits being a duck.

# data[].attributes.body
People are finally excepting who Auggie is and he has became a bit popular since the nature retreat, he has also won the biggest award The Henry Ward  Beecher award

# data[].attributes.body
By the end of the year everyone is kind to him and pats him on his back and doesn’t go ewww and wash there hands straight away and everyone wants to be his friend

# data[].attributes.body
Mr Tushman says that and I think summer represents that saying

# data[].attributes.body
I believe he lied because he doesn’t want anyone to get in trouble or a grudge to be held against him. He is a nice person and on occasions such as this one maybe a little to nice. He may also have been a bit worried or scared that he was going to get hurt or beaten by the 7th graders.

# data[].attributes.body
He has become popular and very happy

# data[].attributes.body
I think it mean  when you can be kind always try and be a little bit kinder than necessary. Because there is nothing wrong/bad about being kind

# data[].attributes.body
He lied so that they don’t get in trouble because if he did they will come back for revenge.

# data[].attributes.body
August draws a duck to represent him self

# data[].attributes.body
Miranda’s family weren’t there but the Pullman family were, so she thought it’ll be best for Via to perform instead.

# data[].attributes.body
August life has changed since he started school before he started school he had no friends.But by the end of the year he had lots of friends

# data[].attributes.body
he Means that even if you want to be kind you have to show it. I think jack shows this the best.

# data[].attributes.body
The war was started by Julian and he made rumours about Jack

# data[].attributes.body
It was a negative because Julian was bulling him by scaring him and calling him names like

# data[].attributes.body
It was Julian’s mum, she photoshopped the photo to get Auggie out of the picture because she takes after her son Julian, SHES A BULLY

# data[].attributes.body
I think summer shows this best beacause she is always kind to anyone especially to Auggie at the start of the book

# data[].attributes.body
People see him for who he is not what he looks like and he is welcome by all of his peers.

# data[].attributes.body
Because Miranda became popular, and that changed her personality. But Miranda still misses her being her friend.

# data[].attributes.body
Because he was districted by school and friends.

# data[].attributes.body
He doesn’t really like them, but he begun to get used them later.

# data[].attributes.body
He presents himself as a duck it could be what mr tushman said about the Ugly duckling but auggie just wanted to be a duck for no reason.

# data[].attributes.body
He didn’t want to make such a big deal of it so he lied. But when mr tushman mentions it he remembered Eddie.

# data[].attributes.body
To just be a more than nice to other school students otherwise that might affect there day

# data[].attributes.body
Every finally appreciates him

# data[].attributes.body
A duck and I don’t think it’s a good choice

# data[].attributes.body
Because he didn’t want to get the 7nth graders in trubble

# data[].attributes.body
It’s because maranda has died down a bit and changed

# data[].attributes.body
Because of friends school work and is just to busy to notice that his dog daisy is sick

# data[].attributes.body
He didn’t like them at the start but now he does and is happy with them. Yea

# data[].attributes.body
Because she doesn’t want August or her parents to come to the play

# data[].attributes.body
Justin has Tourette’s and whenever he gets nervous he starts twitching

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t know

# data[].attributes.body
Yea because he is nice to August and hangs out with him alot

# data[].attributes.body
Yes she’s a good person because she accepted August and hung out with him and know there friends

# data[].attributes.body
I think it was because Julian had the same outfit witch was the bleeding scream

# data[].attributes.body
She wasn’t happy since she worked on it for 2 weeks

# data[].attributes.body
No because her friends weren’t as nice to her as they where in middle school

# data[].attributes.body
I think she is because she even explained how August was the sun and all the planets which where mum dad and friends where orbiting around them

# data[].attributes.body
They where talking about how if they looked like August jack would kill him self because he doesn’t want August’s face

# data[].attributes.body
He loves Halloween because no one can see his face when he’s dressed up in a scary suit and no one noes where he is

# data[].attributes.body
It means he doesn’t think he looks good when he smiles or does anything but he thinks summer does look good

# data[].attributes.body
It means when you are right and know what your talking about sometimes it can come across mean. but when your kind your nice and not cocky you probably want come across mean

# data[].attributes.body
I just think they where scared because theve never seen an unfortunately bad disability

# data[].attributes.body
August’s life has changed but he has also changed. His life changed a lot when he started school because he could not do what he use to, but by the end of the book august had made more friends than he thought and people were actually talking to him, august is now ok  with being In pictures, he has also grown more confident. I think that Jack and summer have helped his life and him change.

# data[].attributes.body
They were talking about Aggie saying stuff along the lines of “if I looked like August i would kill my self

# data[].attributes.body
To me to be kinder than necessary is to always be kind, doing kind deeds, helping others and to never be not kind. That to me is what kinder than necessary is. In my opinion Summer shows this the best.

# data[].attributes.body
He used a duck, this was because he thinks he looked like a duck. I think that it was both good and bad .good because it could mean that he was ok with making jokes about his face but also bad because maybe he still sees himself as ugly.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it means that it is easy to be kind but it takes a good person to be kinder. For example it’s easy to say hi to someone or help them out a little but it’s another thing to put someone else’s happiness above yours when you barley know them. I think that Summer shows this the most because she could very easily be sad when someone brings up her dad but instead she starts talking about how cool he was. Plus she is always so nice to people and never try’s to be mean or hurt their feelings.

# data[].attributes.body
I think summer is more kind then most people. We know this trough the book. For example when she sits with August at the start of the year when he had no friends.

# data[].attributes.body
August isn’t like a person who gets others in trouble. One of the traits that is shown throughout the book. For example when Julian was bulling him and Jack no adult was tolled as they teased Julian as well. Even though it was self-defence the boys did hit and push the 7th graders.

# data[].attributes.body
August represents himself as a duck.
i do think that it has some sort of connection to August because, well as a duck you are mostly seen as a pest that hangs around in slimy ponds and stuff

# data[].attributes.body
In my option I think that the saying “always try to be a little kinder than necessary” means that you always need to be nicer than you normally would. If you do this than you will become a overall nicer person and more people will want to be around you. I think that in this book summer is the character who shows this the most, because summer chose to be friends with August when no one else did. She was the first person to hang out with August because she wanted to. Summer is nice and seems like a great person to be around.
